A shy but smart teenager, Banks (Muniz) has unwittingly been trained at summer camp with secret agent skills. When noted physics professor Dr Connors (Martin Donovan) is kidnapped, it is Banks that the CIA turns to for help. The girl-shy super-spy homes in on his target, while enduring an uneasy relationship with femme fatale Ronica Miles (Harman). A crass dumbing down of a laughable genre, Agent Cody Banks forces Muniz to make the jump from highly-likeable moppet on Malcolm in the Middle to deeply annoying teen star. He's aided and abetted by take-the-money-and-gurn performances from Ian McShane and Donovan, while he jumps through lousy blue screen hoops to reach the inevitable ending.
